Courchevel 1850 Ski Vacations FAQs
-
Prime weeks such as Christmas, New Year and the February half-term break now command a significant premium for luxury Courchevel ski vacations. However, there has been an interesting side effect in that, as hotels have turned standard rooms into vast suites and property prices have become some of the highest in the world, the other weeks of the season have become quieter.
As a result, those skiing in January and March (even at Easter) will be delighted to find that Courchevel’s pristine pistes are less busy.

The duration of your Courchevel vacation is totally up to you! That's the beauty of the personalized service you receive from Scott Dunn. But we do tend to find that most of our guests ski for a week to 10 days.

There are plenty of excellent ski schools in Courchevel. You'll enjoy access to private and group lessons from English-speaking instructors. We highly recommend New Generation, which offers an innovative approach to learning to ski.

Yes! There is plenty to keep non-skiers occupied. The Forum has an Olympic ice rink, a ten-pin bowling alley, a climbing wall and a small gym. The village at 1850 is also well known for its range of designer boutiques. The selection of haute couture and jewelry is as wide as the choice of skiing equipment.
You may recognise Courchevel’s spectacular altiport from the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and pilots must have a special rating to be able to land there. Scenic flights are a great way to see the Three Valleys.
